I agree with Doug. You look at the damage to the fifth wheel. The awning is coming down just after the front cap is damaged.

There is some design error there. oops!

About the ATM roof coming down so easy....I was thinking the same thing right from the beginning...but that's the an** part of me. I used to do auto product liability incident investigation and reinactment... I can promise you the insurance carrier and builder are "talking"! It's on tape! Hammer Laugh

Paul, thanks buddy -- I just noticed the typo, should have read 13'5" versus 13'9".

Did anyone else notice the look of ignorant bliss on the drivers face? He never even looks around or up while driving.

I'm still waiting to hear about the canopy integrity issue. I'm clearly not an architectural engineer, but question how easy the canopy collapsed. Anyone?
